Task 1: Class Discussion and Revision TaskLiterary Theories:The tools by which we understand literature not the meaning of the work. It is a justification of the works in terms of culture, race, class, gender, historical context etc as well as the unconscious elements of a text.

Marxist Literary Criticism:Focus on class conflict and is generally particularly sympathetic to the working class highlighting the struggle of oppression and inequality

Structuralism:Focus on language as a system of codes rooted in culture that builds a world rather than just describe it.

Miss L. Hamilton




Task 1: Class Discussion and Revision TaskFeminism:Challenges the social order and specifically the presentation of women in the media and culture in general after a male dominated literary history. Exploration of the power struggle between men and women.

Gender Theory:This theory followed the 2nd wave feminist movement in the 1960s and covers all genders and sexual orientations

Psychoanalytical Theory:The study of the unconscious in a text rather than the restrictions of the text on the page as well as the exploration of emotional conflict and repression.

Miss L. Hamilton
